James L. Neihouse, ASC- 2017 Imaging Alliance #Visionary #Photographer
Will be on my #podcast this month.
James L. Neihouse was born in Paris, Arkansas, he has gone on to work on more than 30 #IMAX and other large format #films. Neihouse's first credit as director of photography was on the film The Eruption Of Mount St. Helens, which was the first IMAX film to be nominated for an #AcademyAward
He has contributed to some of the most successful #films in the format - #TheDreamIsAlive, #SpaceStation3D, #HUBBLE3D, and #OceanOasis, to name a few. His work has garnered him many awards and accolades including two Giant Screen #Cinema Association Achievement Awards for Best #Cinematography, and a #Kodak Vision Award.
In 2014, Neihouse was invited to become a member of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, cinematographers branch. In 2015, he was invited to membership in The American Society of Cinematographers.
He has filmed polar bears face-to-face in the Arctic, wild tigers in India, chimpanzees in Africa, The Rolling Stones on tour across Europe, shuttle and rocket launches, the Pope, AIDS orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa, erupting volcanoes, great white sharks, whales, elephant seals, and too many other things to go into, but he always brings excitement, #creativity, and a drive to do the best to everything he sets out to do.
I’m completely excited to talk to James about his career and cinematography. He is without a doubt a legend in the game. This video is a snippet of trailer of an excellent film he shot. #LeonardoDiCaprio narratives the film. I’ve always wanted to film for #Nasa I’m cutting off the fat and getting rid of the deadwood, hopefully I’ll get to work with NASA one day. #filmmaking#podcasting#podcast#podcastcommunity#space#csa#spaceship#outerspace#cameras#spaceshuttle#aircraft#indiefilmmaking#indiefilm

This movie is basically when Kill Bill meets John Wick 🤣 Absolutely hilarious. I legit felt it has some undertones of Tarantino, which is definitely always a plus. The Black Kaiser (main character) is like John Wick on crack lol. Fun watch if you take it for what it is, but it ain't for the faint of heart (can get gory at times). The ending did take me by surprise though, which I was totally not expecting with a movie of this kind.
P.S: For an amazing Mads Mikkelsen movie, check out The Hunt! Highly recommend it!!!

This immediately became one of my favorite films upon its first viewing. Natural lighting, even indoors with candle use, absolutely gorgeous extreme long shots in deep focus used all throughout, making every shot resemble an old baroque painting. Meticulously and heavily detailed storytelling and plot points. With its 187m runtime, you may feel as if you've stepped into another world, and peacefully drowned in it.
